This is going to be my last blog about the despicable events of earlier this week. To those who still don't get it -- calling a woman a C-word is just like a punch in the stomach. There is nothing worse. It compares with using a racial slur.
The bare minimum any of the elected Newmarket politicians had to do was to condemn the use of the word. None of them would do it. Do they not have one scintilla of common decency amongst them?
Instead, Councillor Jane Twinney takes to Twitter saying that she is thinking of quitting social media. Here's a newsflash for the councillor - This isn't about her. Her colleague got viciously attacked and Councillor Twinney stands silently. Words cannot express my disgust.
Instead, Councillor Tom Vegh is retweeting his allies - Regional Councillor Taylor, Councillors Emanuel and Twinney - desperate for some type of re-affirmation from them. My advice to Vegh's chums: Councillor Vegh is toxic. Women won't forgive this. He is radioactive. Its best to keep far away. It was stupid of him not to have apologized profusely when he had the opportunity.
Frankly, I don't understand the silence. It reminds me of when the racial epithets were being spray painted on garage doors on Sandiford. Even then, it was only Councillor Di Muccio who spoke most vehemently against the perpetrator giving a voice to what we were all thinking.
Basic human respect is all that I'm asking for. None of you shown it. You don't measure up to what the community of Newmarket represents. Shame on you all.
